On the Performer PL 5000,it uses a PL-259 connector built into the antenna's base. I'm curious as to what female connector to use for a direct mount install? What website would sell the female connector? I sent Sirio an email.
Finally got my Sirio PL 5000. No scratch off ticket but in the video I posted,they said that some will have them. Now I need something to hard mount it
Well you could start with the electrical length. The Wilson is about 102" and change.
The Sirio is about 108".
The matching network is also different.
If you are hardmounting this in a newer vehicle you better back up the hardmount underneath. If not, And you hit a solid object more than halfway down on the whip, depending on speed you could end up ripping a hole in your roof.
And even then there is no garentee that it will not sustain damage.
The electrical length. Well,the Sirio PL5000 is for 27 to 28 MHz operation with a 200 channel bandwidth.

I am totally unfamiliar with Sirio products. That's why I hesitated getting a hard mount. I am inquiring DNJ about what kind of hard mount to use.
The base of the antenna has a PL-259 built in to it
That's the one I'm looking at. Just wish it had a rg 303 coax with it. DNJ won't have the rg303 cable assembly until the 28th.
yes I know what it says. I am talking about the ACTUAL electrical length of the whole antenna. Also the actual bandwidth is a bit wide than in the description.
Why would you want the rg 303?
. When I got mine I immeadiatly changed to coax to LMR 200 ultraflex. I have been using this antenna for well over a year with no issues.
Well,if it's rated for 10&11 meter operation I don't think it should be 108". I don't know yet what it's electrical length is.

The RG303 is what Sirio recommends. I have been out of the hobby for 25 years. When I was in it the only coax I was aware of was RG8 and RG58u. At that time mini 8x was just coming into vogue.Why would you want the rg 303?
